    #6. Did the people in Alaska even get a chance to vote on it?

    JFC - there are 31 active National Emergencies in effect. There is only 1 or 2 of these that dealt with the US - the rest are knee jerk reactions I think to appease some loud mouth (could be an org, individual, assn, or a ranking member of Congress) and his special cause.

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_national_emergencies_in_the_United_States

    Yes Wikipedia is my source

    That was the point of my OP and link but I don't follow links either

    The honest truth is

    Trump declares one and the usual suspects are against it. He needs to do one for opiods!!! Except he did but it was a HEALTH emergency.

    My truth is I want a fucking wall and at this point if a national emergency gets it then fine

    They do seem to be useless as a whole

    An open border certainly qualifies to people that love the country

    So not you H

    Race, why didn't you scream about a border wall under Obama? What changed that this is now an emergency?

    So like many emergency orders this one can be:

    Blocking Property or Persons Threatening the Peace, Security, or Stability of USA.

    Blocking Property or Persons Undermining the Sovereignty of the USA or Its Democratic Processes and Institutions

    Blocking Property of Transnational Criminal Organizations

    Blocking Assets and Prohibiting Transactions with Significant Narcotics Traffickers

    Blocking Property of Certain Persons and persons Contributing to drug crime in the USA

    Wow change a word or two here and there and it's pretty simple. They all seemed like good reasons for past emergencies. I think it'll work now.

    Scream? What are you talking about?

    We built 600 miles of wall under Obama and Bush

    Are you really this stupid?

    The entire "emergency" argument is fake on the simple argument that 1) if it were an emergency, it would have been declared an emergency 20 years ago. Since then, illegal crossings have decreased. And 2), Trump is flagrantly contradicting Congress's budget. The president can NOT make his own budget and his own laws.

    This is a flagrant abuse of power, a tyrannical move and exactly what the Founders warned about in the Federalist Papers.
